WHEAT-Trade by sample is as dull as ever,
aud the prospect does not look specially bright
for much animation in the near future. Consid-
cradle activity has prevailed, however, within
the last day or so in speculative circles, and Call
Board operations have assumed greater magni-
tude. This is to some extent owing to sales for
account OF whom 1t may concern, to close out
contracts. Matters appear to be settling down,
and it is hoped, that before the close of this
month, all obstacles in the way of renewal of
legitimate trade will have been removed or ar
ranged to the satisfaction of all parties inter-
ested. Auction sales have occurred this week
at which 81 271a was paid for some GOO tons No.
standard. This, perhaps, is about the best guide
that can be given in regard to current values.
Alllers pay more, say 81 3o@Sl 40, the latter
for choice lots.
BARLEY-The pressure of stocks has forced
holders to succumb, and feed is now offered at
reduced rates. The best class of product can be
bought at S712c, with lower grades in proportion.
Old Brewing is much more quiet and dull than
short time ago and sales drag at 81 10 as an
extreme price. For new Brewing there is a
slightly improved inquiry, which is expected
to develop to greater proportions in the course
of next month Prices in consequence are n
shade steadier, say VIC to 81 2 ctl for good
article. Chevalier could not be more inactive.
There is no inquiry, and nobody will look at
samples. Holders are not discouraged, how
ever, but hopefully expect that some circum-
stance will arise to disturb the monotony of the
situation. Meanwhile, the market must be
nominal at 9214cGsl for coast and 81 2091 IS
for bay.
OATS.-Stocks are rather liberal. but dealers
are not forcing trade aud prices are kept fairly
steady and uniform in consequence. We quote

of East and Mid Kent planters have larger crops
even than they had last year-that phenomenal
hop year of 1876 But unfortunately there is a
very large proportion, indeed, of discolored and
diseased hops. The latter are worthless and

all. The great difference in the quality of this
seasons crop is shown by the wide range of
x-a1t1 TO-

of disappointment to the British planter. In

noted. There is no trade whatever, and quota
